Taking care of baby Gavin - check out his socks, they look like Converse high tops but are just socks. Gavin is 11 weeks old today.
I got this gold R at a rummage sale for 10 cents - sorry my pictures are out of order but look below to see it's makeover.
My daughter gives me boxes of randomness every so often - it is her no longer needed or wanted junk but I usually find very nice and useful stuff in her junk. I got this assortment from here last year.Today I will be going through this current batch. Some of it is really junk but I 've washed the 3 glass jars, they will look great in my pantry. The pink Maggie B makeup bag and glasses case will be going in my purse. I think the napkin holder will be great in the breakfast nook.
The R after it's makeover. I spray painted it black, cut an R from a sheet of damask print scrapbook paper and adhered it with Mod Podge.
Laundry drying on my new clothesline. I've been wanting one for quite a while. My lawyer-to-be son asked if I had the checked with the restrictions of our homeowners association, and, No, I have not, but I don't think it will be a problem. It is in the backyard inside a privacy fence.
I probably won't dry all our laundry outside but according to Gayle, you can really reduce your energy bills if you switch to line drying.
Update - Valerie asked where I got my clothesline. I could not find one sold locally so I ordered this one from Amazon. Jeff installed it with one bag of cement. I'm very happy with its quality and design.
Oh how sweet. I have my 4 month old grandson today. I love a clothes line. I need to get me one! Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteBaby Gavin is so cute! And I LOVE what you did with that gold R. I would have just left it, but the way you did it makes so much more of an impact. I wish I was creative like that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie you got to play with today! :) I absolutely love your letter hook with its makeover!
ReplyDeleteI line dry my laundry as much as I can, I don't actually have a dryer but do have an indoor airer which is used on a wet day and the clothes dry in the warmth of the house.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with that R!
ReplyDeleteLine drying really does save money. I experimented with it last year (I dry my stuff indoors on fold-out drying racks), and in similar months (temperatures and energy usage), my electric bill dropped $22 in the month I air-dried the clothes instead of using the dryer.
I see your vintage sheets on there! I have certain things that do well on the line like sheets, mens undershirts and boxers. So on Saturdays in warm weather I can hang a couple of loads. Its also easy to hang some things on hangers right out of the washer. Good post, I need to check out the link on saving money by hanging laundry.
ReplyDeleteMore Importantly!!! What a cute Baby Gavin! Also love the "R".
ReplyDeleteI used to have a drying mill like that. I don't hang my clothes out anymore as we have no backyard. Gavin is looking so adorable. And I just love your letter R makeover. Boy did that make a difference.
ReplyDeleteYou can come bake cookies in my kitchen. If Jos likes your cookies, you may be held prisoner...lol.

P.S. ~ Wait until my oven arrives to bake those cookies or we will have to eat the dough with our fingers...lol.

ReplyDeleteI love that clothes line, so much larger than mine. I'm sure your laundry smells so good.
